Water leaking into the passenger side... help?

Navster · 09-08-2014, 06:35 PM

I made a hole in the grommet and had to use silicone to seal around. I accidentally broke the clip which holds the grommet down. Any suggestions? Can I add a bracket with a screw of some type which will hold the grommet down.

Fixed the water leak from grommet. Turns out the clip I broke which kept the grommet in place, left a hole in the plastic. Since the grommet still had one clip left I ended up using a bungee cord. I took the hook and placed it through the hole on the plastic in the grommet and pushed the other side through the fire wall. I then placed the grommet into place and pulled on the bungee cord on the inside of the car and hooked the other side to a plastic clip on the heater fan. Took car through car wash and no water leaking inside voila.
